Later, amending his scheduled programme, he went to meet holy men from the Nirmohi Akhada on the banks of Mandakini.

Refusing to take a seat specially kept for him, Adityanath sat on the floor, like other holy men, and said that he being a saintly person did not require VIP treatment.

The holy men handed over a memorandum to the Chief Minister, who said all their demands would be accepted by the government.

He said Mandakini was a holy river and efforts would be made to ensure it was kept pollution free.

He said the area would be a ‘no power cut zone’ and would get 24x7 electric supply.

The Chief Minister declared that the Madhya Pradesh-Uttar Pradesh border would be declared a free zone to make it easy for people to visit Chitrakoot.
